event ID 10016 -DCOM error

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {BA126AD1-2166-11D1-B1D0-00805FC1270E} to the user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE SID (S-1-5-20). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server applicationThis error can be found in the Event Viewer. It can be solved in 3
steps: identify the application using the registry, grant local
activation using the Component Services console, restart IIS. Below are
the details copied from Mike H’s blog post (I changed the service affected to reflect the problem I had to resolve):The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {BA126AD1-2166-11D1-B1D0-00805FC1270E}to
the user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE SID (S-1-5-20). This security
permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative
tool.Copy the GUID following the CLSID above, and Start–>Run–>regeditWith
the registry editor open, ensure that your cursor is on the computer at
the beginning of the tree (make sure you are not in the middle of some
previous edit session in the registry editor).Edit–>Find
and paste in the GUID. It’ll stop at the application entry – and you
will want to note the application name on the right side pane. In this
example, it was the Netowrk Connections Manager service that popped up.Now,
open Component Services (typically, from the server –
Start–>Administrative Tools–>Component Services), expand Component
Services, Computers, My Computer, DCOM Config. Scroll down and find the
application (netman in this case). Right-Click–>Properties and
select the Security tab. You’ll have some options here – the first block
Launch and Activation Permissions – ensure that the Customize radio
button is selected, and click Edit. Now, add your service account –
giving it launch and activate – and in some requirements – remote launch
/ activate permission.Restart IIS and continue on.

Using regedit to find the application needing the permission leads me to
the Network Connection Manager Class 2. According to what I've read
online this is supposed to be the "netman" application in the DCOM
Config folder. However now that I'm stuck with safe mode command line
only. It won't let me edit the dcom permissions for netman because it
can't launch a dialog box. Again, any suggestions are welcome.
